A Research in Pharmacogenomics and Accurate Medication of Risperidone

Risperidone is a selective monoamine receptor antagonist. It plays an antipsychotic effect by antagonizing 5-HT2 / D2 receptor. As a second-generation antipsychotic drug, risperidone is metabolized to 9-hydroxy Risperidone in the body very quickly. There are individual differences in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of risperidone. For example, CYP2D6 genotype can greatly affect the metabolism of risperidone, and provide evidence for adjusting the type and dose of medication to treat Schizophrenia. In this study, we will verify the correlation between the polymorphisms of genes related with risperidone drug metabolites, drug transporters, drug targets and drug metabolism, pharmacodynamics, adverse reactions in Chinese population, providing basis for clinical rational use of risperidone.
